Tracey was ready to leave after her discussion with Amos. She turned around to find Arthur staring at them from not too far away. “You’re here, Arthur.” Amos had seen him, too. Snapping out of his thoughts, Arthur walked over. “You should go back and rest. I’ll be on duty tonight.” Since Amos had not slept a wink since last night, Arthur was there to relieve him. Arthur nodded. “Alright. Master Blair is watching over Ms. Jefferson inside. I don’t think he needs anything for now. You can have a nap in the room next door.” “Sure.” Tracey looked at Arthur, clearly having something on her mind. She turned to Amos. “We can go together. I can drop you since I’m going the same way.” Arthur stood in the hallway and watched as the pair walked to the elevator. Arthur felt some type of way. He wondered if Tracey and Amos were together. … Meanwhile, once Tracey left the children’s ward, Spike was not in a hurry to fall asleep. He grabbed his smartwatch and sent a text messa
The Mullers were the stepping stone Rory needed to enter the Dorland market, so he needed to beat Blair to close a deal. …Mable woke up first thing in the morning. She felt sore all over, especially her arms, feeling as if someone hammered her joints. She broke out in a cold sweat. “You’re up, Mabes.” Blair had been by her side for a whole day. Seeing that she regained consciousness, Blair called the doctors over right away. It did not take long for the doctors to arrive. Before they could perform any examination on her, Mable said weakly, “Give me a shot for the pain.” The relapse and new injuries were pushing her pain threshold. “Where does it hurt, Mabes?” Blair looked worried. “Everywhere.” Feeling for her, Blair could not breathe. Mable closed her eyes and took a moment to ease the pain. She then looked at him coldly. “Where’s my son?” “He’s fine. I’ll take him to see you in a bit.” Mable closed her eyes without a word. The doctor did not take long to g
If she wanted to kill him, it would not be too late to do it now!Mable stared at the man in front of her. He was less than two centimeters away, and she could even feel his breath.She glared at him without showing any weakness. “Do you think I wouldn’t dare?”Blair narrowed his eyes dangerously and clenched his jaw but did not speak.She would dare.Of course, she would dare!Her ruthlessness was something he had witnessed.The atmosphere in the hospital room gradually became tense.Amid the standoff, Mable suddenly laughed and turned to look out the window.“Even if I could, I’m afraid I don’t have the ability now.”Her voice was calm and low.“You’ve seen for yourself. My body is not what it used to be. I can’t defeat you, let alone harm you.”Blair’s heart clenched as he looked at her hand.After another moment of silence, he spoke, “Why did Aust kidnap you?”Mable laughed at his question and looked at him as if she had heard a joke. “Why did he kidnap me? Why do you
Mable looked at Tracey gratefully. “Thank you, Tracey.”Her injuries would require at least two days of rest. During these two days, she would have to rely on Tracey to help take care of Spike.Tracey sat down beside Mable with a smile. “Don’t be a stranger.”Spike still needed another round of IV infusion. So, he did not stay in his mother’s ward for too long and was taken away by Tracey.In the afternoon, his test results were out.Mable looked at the thick stack of medical reports and furrowed her brows. Then, she suddenly paled when she saw the diagnosis on the report.Spike had septicemia!Mable looked at the doctor in disbelief. “Doctor, there must be a mistake. My son...”Although Mable had anticipated the worst-case scenario when checking Spike’s pulse, she could not believe it when it was confirmed.The doctor nodded with a serious expression. “Ms. Jefferson, every medical examination was conducted meticulously. There is no mistake.“However, the good news is that yo
In the morning, Blair returned to the office after leaving the hospital.There were too many suspicious aspects to last year’s incident involving Mable and Olivia’s kidnapping. He needed to investigate thoroughly.Currently, it seemed the breakthrough point lay in Olivia. However, the people sent by Solomon to keep an eye on her had not found anything yet.In the afternoon, Blair received a call from the hospital.He was the one who admitted Spike into the hospital, so the attending physician updated him now that the results were out.His heart clenched when he learned that Spike had septicemia.For a moment, he felt worried.After hanging up the phone, he sat in his office, staring at the files on his computer screen with glimmering eyes.He lit a cigarette. However, just as he was about to take a drag, he remembered something and stopped.When the cigarette had burned to a stub, he extinguished it and grabbed his coat....In the hospital.Mable’s face turned cold as she
Anthony’s eyes flickered. He liked how headstrong Mable was.Even though she was injured and pale, her aura remained undiminished.“I told you, I’m just checking up on you.”“I don’t need it!”As soon as Mable spoke, the room door pushed open.Blair entered and saw Mable sitting on the bed, looking up, and Anthony standing right in front of her, bending down. They were very close to each other.He clenched the item in his hand tightly and exuded a cold aura.Anthony glanced at Blair and laughed. “Oh, speak of the devil. You can ask him now.”Mable looked at Blair and glanced at what he was holding.A dessert box.Anthony greeted him with a smile. “Long time no see, Blair.”They had not seen each other for nearly half a year.Blair walked in, his dark eyes freezing. “When did you two become so friendly?”Mable stared at him and sneered, saying deliberately, “We’ve always been close.”She knew that Blair did not like Anthony, so she intentionally wanted to make things diffi
A look of astonishment flashed in Blair’s eyes at Mable’s words.Although that expression disappeared in an instant, Mable keenly caught it.On that day when she met Anthony, he told her a secret before leaving.He said, “Blair already knew my dad was the one who killed your grandfather, but he wouldn’t tell you.“Do you know why? It’s because his last name is Fowler.“Even though he cut ties with the Fowler family and hates my dad, he still chose to remain silent.“Why? It’s because you have no significance in his heart!“Even if the person who died was you and not your grandfather, he would never reveal the truth either.“Look. This is the man you love.“If you had any modicum of meaning in his heart, he wouldn’t have kept silent until now.“Believe me. If you didn’t find out on your own, he would never tell you for the rest of his life!”...Anthony’s words from that day echoed in her head like a curse.He was right. She did not dare to ask.She was afraid of facing th
Blair walked to the elevator and called Solomon’s number.“After tonight, I want Fowler Enterprise to become history!”Solomon was dumbfounded.What did that mean?“You want to bankrupt Fowler Enterprise?”Blair’s eyes darkened. “Yes, with my own hands!”Solomon was stunned but did not have time to ask why. He immediately rushed back to the office.That night, X Group’s building was brightly lit as people worked through the night....In Fasier.Kyle was just as surprised as Solomon when he heard Blair wanted to bankrupt Fowler Enterprise.Their biggest enemy now was Secret. Why did Blair suddenly decide to target Fowler Enterprise?After dealing with matters in Fasier, Kyle booked a flight back to his home country for the next day.The following day, he unexpectedly met someone familiar at the airport.Coincidentally, they were also on the same flight.Zoe looked at Kyle, sitting in front of her, and a glint of surprise flashed in her eyes. She quickly put on her sungla
“Arthur proposed to Tracey?!”In the afternoon, Tracey posted several photos of her and Arthur in a hot air balloon. In one of the photos, she held a bouquet with a dazzling ring on her ring finger.[Yes, I do.]That was the caption.Blair hugged Mable and nodded with a smile. “Yeah, Arthur proposed to her today. Trace called to say they’ll prepare for the wedding after they return from their trip.”“That’s great!”Mable was sincerely happy for Tracey and Arthur.She asked Blair, “Do they have any ideas for the wedding? We can help them prepare in advance.”Blair said, “We can call Trace and ask.”Mable looked at the time. It was midnight in Monafett, and she did not want to disturb them by calling at this hour. She smiled and said, “I’ll call her tomorrow.”Getting two good news in a row today made Mable feel particularly good. After dinner, she could not help but want to drink some wine to celebrate.Blair had not drunk for a long time, either. Seeing her in high spirits,
Kyle stared into Zoe’s eyes. He had indeed noticed it, but he was not sure yet.However, when Zoe called him by his full name, he was completely certain.Zoe had regained her memories.From the moment she woke up, her emotions had been off. Even Monica noticed something wrong with her, so how could he not have seen it?Kyle looked at Zoe, reaching out to brush the hair by her temples. “It’s been a long time since you called me that.”Zoe had not called him since waking up, but as soon as she did, she called him Kyle instead of Ky. He knew then she must have remembered everything.Although Kyle knew that this day would come sooner or later, he did not expect her to regain her memories at this moment.He was completely unprepared and caught off guard.Zoe lowered her head. “That’s what I used to call you, but you tricked me into calling you Ky.”She remembered everything as soon as she woke up.The events that happened when she had forgotten felt like a dream, too surreal to be
Kyle named the baby Six not only because he was born at 6 pounds and 6 ounces but also because June 6th was the day they first met.He would always remember the scene when he first saw Zoe, even though their relationship started with deception, manipulation, and even revenge.Kyle caressed Zoe’s cheek and said, “Zoe, I’ve never told you this, but I fell in love with you the moment I saw you. It was love at first sight.“I want you to stay by my side forever and let me stay by your side forever. I’ll never let you go again in this lifetime.”Zoe’s eyes slowly reddened as she listened to Kyle’s heartfelt words.Indeed, she never knew he fell in love with her at first sight...They both did.Kyle gently wiped away her tears. “Zoe, I promise you. We’ll only part in death, never in life.”Zoe choked and nodded, burying her face in his chest as she cried.In her arms, Six seemed to sense his mother’s emotions and moved restlessly.Zoe quickly comforted him.“Let me.” Kyle took the
At the hospital. When Zoe woke up again, it was already the next morning.As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Kyle sitting by her bedside.Kyle noticed her waking up and quickly held her hand. “Zoe, you’re awake. How do you feel?”Zoe stared at the man in front of her and blinked, feeling shocked.When she did not answer, Kyle immediately became nervous. “What’s wrong? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?”Zoe remained silent and continued to stare at him. Her eyes gradually turned red, and her nose tingled with a strong sense of sourness.Kyle’s heart clenched at the sight. “Zoe, don’t scare me like this. Zoe...”He was getting anxious and was just about to call the doctor when she suddenly grabbed his hand. “I... I’m okay. I just had a nightmare. I’m a bit groggy after waking up.”Kyle hugged her, his warm hand gently patting her back. “It’s okay. I’ve been by your side all along.”Zoe buried her face in his shoulder, softly humming without saying anything.At that mom
“I see.”Outside the delivery room, Kyle’s family and the others were still waiting anxiously.Close to midnight, the door finally opened, and the nurse carried the baby out.“It’s a boy. Both mother and son are safe.”Everyone breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.Before long, Zoe was pushed out. Monica checked on the baby before hurriedly walking to Zoe’s side and taking her hand. “Zoe, you did so well.”“I’m okay, Mom.”Zoe was still very weak after just giving birth, and her voice was weak. Monica immediately told her husband to call the servants to brew a tonic and sent it over.Mable walked to Zoe and felt her heart ache when she saw the latter’s pale face, but she smiled and said, “Congratulations, Zoe.”Zoe smiled, no longer having the strength to speak.Blair and Solomon congratulated Kyle.Kyle nodded, not paying attention to them, and took Zoe back to the ward with the nurse.Zoe was a first-time mother, so she was extremely exhausted after giving birth an
As soon as Mable learned that Zoe was about to go into labor, she rushed to the hospital immediately. It was late at night, and Blair was worried, so he accompanied her.When the two arrived at the hospital, Zoe had already been taken into the delivery room. Kyle followed her in, but his parents waited anxiously outside.Mable looked at Monica and Floyd and asked, “Isn’t Zoe’s due date still about ten days away? Why did it suddenly come early?”Monica said, “We’re not sure, either. After dinner tonight, Zoe said her stomach was hurting. Kyle helped her upstairs to rest, but not long after, he called for someone to prepare the car to go to the hospital...”Seeing Mable stare anxiously at the delivery room, Blair held her hand and comforted her. “Don’t worry. Zoe has been healthy her whole pregnancy. There shouldn’t be any problems.”Mable nodded. “Yeah, I hope both the mother and child are safe.”Soon, Solomon and Ines also arrived.Solomon greeted Kyle’s parents and asked, “How
Without saying anything, Solomon placed his behind Ines’ head and kissed her.Ines wrapped her arms around his waist...Knock, knock!The untimely sound of knocking interrupted them.Ines jumped like a startled deer, eyes wide and cheeks red.The servant’s voice came from outside. “Sir, dinner is ready.”Solomon hugged Ines and cleared his throat. “Got it. We’ll be right there.”The servant acknowledged and left.Ines buried her head in Solomon’s chest and took a deep breath before saying, “Let’s go. Don’t want your parents to wait too long.”“Yeah.”Solomon stroked her head and looked at the drawing he had just completed. “Once it’s dry, I’ll have it framed and hang it in the bedroom, okay?”Ines asked, “In this bedroom?”Solomon nodded and kissed her forehead. “Yeah, we’ll probably come back to stay here often in the future.”Ines pursed her lips and smiled silently.“Let’s go have dinner.” Solomon led her downstairs.After having dinner at the Rowland residence, Solom
Solomon embraced Ines from behind, resting his chin on her shoulder. “I learned to draw when I was young and almost did fine arts for college.”“Why didn’t you?”Winning first prize in a national art competition indicated a high level of drawing skill.Solomon said, “Painting is just one of my many interests. I do it to pass the time when I’m bored. I’ve never thought of becoming an artist.”Ines nodded. “I see.”Solomon suddenly perked up and opened a small cabinet beside the bookshelf, taking out a canvas and some paints. “Come on, I’ll draw a portrait.”Ines was stunned. “Of me?”“Yep. Give me a moment.”Solomon led Ines to sit on the sofa, then went out to find a servant to bring him the easel.Although he had not painted in many years, he still had all the tools he used before.Before long, the servant helped him bring in the easel and other tools.After looking at the layout of the bedroom, Solomon asked Ines to sit in the soft chair by the window, where the lighting w
Ines blinked. “I was just thinking about what to bring to your house tomorrow. I can’t go empty-handed...”Solomon laughed at her words. “You don’t need to bring anything. Just seeing you will make them happy.”“That won’t do. I still need to buy something.”Although she knew that Solomon’s parents did not lack anything, she could not just go without a gift. It was still necessary to have proper etiquette.Ines was a little nervous at the thought of visiting his parents tomorrow. “Can you tell me what your parents are like?”Solomon noticed her nervousness and squeezed her hand. “Don’t worry. My mom and dad are very nice. They won’t make things difficult for you.”Ines looked at him and nodded.With him by her side, she was not that worried.She heard Solomon say that his father liked tea, so she bought a gift box from the supermarket. In addition, she also brought some nutritional supplements to bring along when they go to Solomon’s house tomorrow.After buying everything, th
